Letter | Seeking debates

Kentucky’s media has been clamoring for the two senate candidates, Alison Lundergan Grimes and Mitch McConnell, to debate the issues important to this election. Candidate Grimes, to her credit at Fancy Farm agreed to four sites for debate, including the one offered by Kentucky Educational Television. KET has the format of a real debate and access to the entire state.

A colourless McConnell on the other hand has offered a peopleless debate, without media or questions. Obviously Mr. McConnell has no intention of entering a real debate, wherein he could be held responsible for the last 30 years he has held the office. Mr. McConnell’s reluctance to be held accountable for his vote history as well as refusal to discuss today’s issues tends to display a need for a political change.
